According to me, this improves the flow of the application as well as user experience. I can just double click on the empty area inside that folder and I'm in its parent directory. I don't have to move my mouse to upper-left corner or press keyboard key to go back. That's it :)

Although this feature is not available in many applications, I only have used "Clover file manager" earlier in ms-windows which used to have this feature. Yesterday while checking bug list, I found one feature request regarding this feature and then it came to my mind. I tried to find that bug but I am unable to find it currently.
